[1]To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.[2]From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.[3]For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.[4]I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. Selah.[5]For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.[6]Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.[7]He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint -- they keep him.[8]So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
